DEAL: Essential Phone is $250 for Prime Day!

Essential teased an upcoming Amazon Prime Day deal last week and have now confirmed what it will be: $250 for an Essential Phone.

Do we think the year-old Essential Phone is still worth it at $250? Oh, hell yes. It still gets monthly security patches as quickly as Google’s phones, is on its 3rd Android P build (and it runs pretty good too), and still looks and feels amazing in hand. The camera isn’t really flagship level and performance has some stuttering still (but has improved), but we’re now talking about those things at $250. I’m not sure there is another phone I’d buy over this at $250.
